Radiation Detected 400 miles off japanese Coast.....

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Radioactive contamination from the Fukushima power plant disaster has been detected as far as almost 400 miles off Japan in the Pacific Ocean, with water showing readings of up to 1,000 times more than prior levels, scientists reported Tuesday.

"We're not over the hump" yet in terms of radioactive contamination of the ocean because of continued leakage from the plant, Buesseler said in an interview before Tuesday's talk. He was chief scientist for the cruise that collected the data.....snip~

I really don't think it's that bad. Old energy sure loves to keep beating this drum about nuclear power. Coal mines have kiled a lot more people.

Good point.
